i know a bunch of people have been asking about the marius w/ smaller fins. here's the scoop.

i got some smaller fins for the marius (big thanks to hahn!) but haven't had the chance to check it out until this past saturday. talk about a different ride! it didn't seem as slow out in the flats. it still held its edge and tracked really well, but still had a loose feeling. the release off the wake is much, MUCH quicker! the pop was still big and the landings were still super soft.

for marius owners who ride w/ the bigger fins, i highly recommend riding it w/ the smaller fins. if you liked it w/ the bigger fins, you'll love it w/ the smaller fins!

disclaimer: this thread is by no means a promise that you will achieve the same results, nor is it a promise that you will have positive outcome like i did. the results were from MY style of riding. you may end up w/ different results.

Yeah the Marius fins are 1 inch and the absolute platty fins are .75. Travor rides with some .5's or something like that. I was trying to get Bates to get me some for you, but it looks like you are happy now.

The Absolute fins come with a .75 and a .50 I thought? I was under the impression I gave Joe the smaller ones? Maybe it was a .75 and a 1.0? Anyone know for sure? I can say that the napster trading card of Zane doing a batwing is my photo! That comes in all the fin packs don't they?

I also rode the marius. Really liked it finless, but landing spins was a hassle without a centerfin. I always slid out. I took the marius stock fins an grinded them down to about .5'. It was done pretty fast an easy and it worked.
